Leaving Greece

(July 30th, 2004)

Today is my last day in Athens. Tomorrow, I'm flying out of here for London, where I'll be staying for four days before I leave for Vancouver.

The trip's been a blast so far. I'd upload pictures, but I can't seem to do it from here. I've taken a lot of photos...some of them surprisingly artistic. Not to tease, but I'll upload them when I'm in Vancouver!

I've done a lot of reading on this trip: six books! So far, I've read:

• Nickel and Dimed, by Barbara Ehrenreich
• The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown
• No Logo, by Naomi Klein
• Greek Mythology, author currently unknown
• Naked Empire, by Terry Goodkind
• Life of Pi, by Yann Martel

The best of the books I've read so far is Life of Pi, no question about it.

I've also purchased Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix and Trainspotting, which I'll read soon. I've done a lot of reading on this trip; I attribute this mainly to all the time I've spent on buses and boats.

I'm looking forward to London, and I'm looking forward to being home after that. I've got an exciting new job to start, and I look forward to seeing my girl again.
